For the White Mesa representative, the candidates are incumbent Malcolm Lehi and challenger Elaine Cantsee.

White Mesa voters will vote only for chairman and the White Mesa representative. For the Colorado portion of the tribe, the two candidates with the highest vote counts will earn delegate seats.

Absentee balloting for the election will be allowed for nonresident voters and voters who will not be able to show up in person at the polling place on the day of election to cast their vote. The deadline to request an official notarized absentee ballot form in writing has passed.
